Many years ago my younger sister who was two years old at the time battled childhood leukemia and the cancer went into remission, during that time less checkups were scheduled and the cancer came back. This time she was unable to fight the cancer and she passed away at the age of five, sometimes life is unfair…

About Unstoppable

Inspired by the death of Cameron’s close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: “Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?” Going back to the beginning—literally—Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives … and our eternities.UNSTOPPABLEwill prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope.

Kirk Cameron is best known for his memorable role as “Mike Seaver,” a cultural icon of the 80’s, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks. More recently he enjoyed much success with the No. 1 grossing inspirational film of 2008, Fireproof, and his recent documentary, Monumental. Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during their Growing Pains years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their families are provided an all-expense paid retreat. Together, Kirk and Chelsea live in California with their six children.

I’m not a huge fan on documentary movies but being as cancer has touched my family, It drew my interest and I was intrigued. All in all I enjoyed this movie and it has given me a better insight. When you lose a close family member who not only is so young, but while you are young yourself, you often find yourself struggling heavily to deal with the loss. This movie helps provide an excellent support and would have been greatly helpful for me when I lost my sister. It looks at how these things affect our lives and our families and because of that gives us great insight into how we can cope with these losses.

Kirk Cameron’s name caught my eye on this DVD… I’m sure it’s good, though I can’t think exactly where I know his name from! 🙂 He starred in Fireproof and Left Behind, right? I think I’ve also read interviews with him in Focus on the Family’s magazines. 🙂 He’s a Christian in Hollywood so it’s cool to see he’s got another movie out.

I’m a big fan…It’s been great to see all of his movies since he’s grown and become a Christian. Monumental was very good, and Fireproof, and Left Behind. Looking forward to more projects. I like reading the articles that come in his email newsletters, and hearing about his wife and children. He’s an honorable family man.
